Bulova Marine Star Series B Men’s Automatic Watch 98B471 showcases Bulova’s enduring American heritage in precision timekeeping and robust design, offering a modern reinterpretation of one of the brand’s most celebrated dive‑inspired models.
Crafted for performance and everyday versatility, this 41mm stainless‑steel timepiece features 200m water resistance rating, a secure screw‑down crown, and a scratch‑resistant sapphire crystal for maximum durability. Its redesigned unidirectional bezel with a bi‑colour aluminium insert complements the dynamic green sunray dial, which shifts from green to black for a bold, high‑contrast look.
Luminous hands and hour markers ensure exceptional legibility in all conditions—whether above or below the surface. Powered by an automatic movement with a 42‑hour power reserve with both manual and self winding functionality, visible through the exhibition caseback, the Marine Star Series B delivers reliable mechanical performance. Completing the design is a H link full stainless steel bracelet, engineered for comfort and resilience during any adventure.
What we love about the Bulova Marine Star Series B Mens Automatic Watch 98B471: its perfect balance of American design heritage, premium build quality, and modern diving aesthetics. The sunray dial, high‑performance automatic movement, and rugged yet refined construction make this a standout companion for both everyday wear and weekend exploration. MPN 98B471

Frequently Asked Questions
Where are Bulova Marine Star watches made?
Bulova is an American heritage brand founded in New York City in 1875, and today it's owned by the Citizen Group of Japan. The Marine Star 98B471 pairs that American design heritage with a Japanese automatic movement — Citizen's movement-making arm supplies the calibres, which is a large part of why the Marine Star delivers reliable mechanical performance at this price. Every Marine Star sold by Starbuy is a genuine Bulova sourced through authorised channels with full manufacturer warranty.
Can you swim or dive with the Bulova Marine Star 98B471?
Yes. With 200m (20 ATM) water resistance, a screw-down crown, and a unidirectional timing bezel, the 98B471 is built to water sports standards — comfortably suitable for swimming, snorkelling, and recreational scuba diving. The one habit that matters: always check the crown is fully screwed down before entering the water, as the water resistance rating depends on it. The luminous hands and markers are designed to stay legible underwater.
What's the difference between the Bulova Marine Star 98B471 and the other Series B models?
All four Marine Star Series B models share the same foundation — 41mm stainless steel case, automatic movement with 42-hour power reserve, 200m water resistance, sapphire crystal, and screw-down crown — so the choice comes down to style. The 98B471 is the green sunray dial on a silver-tone steel H-link bracelet: sportier than the classic blue-dial 98B466, more restrained than the bold gold-and-green two-tone 98B467, and dressier than the black-dial 98B465 on its rubber strap. If you want a dive-style automatic with a modern edge that still wears easily every day, the 98B471 sits in the sweet spot.
